Cameras For High Speed Imaging

Spectral Instruments has developed a new camera line utilizing CCDs with multiple read ports per CCD for high speed imaging without compromising on the typical specifications that falter when moving to high speed. Utilizing multiple ports (up to 16 per device) cuts down on the number of pixels each port must read, and thus increases read speeds by up to 16x without compromising read noise. Other than the multiple ports, CCD design is essentially unchanged and high pixel full well is retained to give maximum dynamic range when compared to all other modes of high speed imaging.
